Hello! Glad to post at the Shroomery again!Just had the idea of making an upgradable list of books you may read to enhace your mushroom experiences, feel free to list yours too! I?ll begin with one of my faborites:

"The Holographic universe", by Michael Talbott, amazing book to sense the hologram of reality, and upgrade your counsiousness to a higher level of understanding.

"The Kybalion", by Ermes Trismegisto, again amazingly simple sentences wich open the doors of your perceptions and upgrades you to higher levels.

"The 3rd eye" by Lobsang Rampa, lots of keys hidden in this story, take them and open what you want :-)

"The Bagavad Gita (as it is)" by Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a book to spontaneously open and find the lines you need to read at that moment. Expands your "Krsna counsciousness"!!

of course all you may find from Terence Mckenna, Tim leary, Albert Hoffmann, Stanislav Grof, and other great psyche-uncles..Please feedback!:-) Enjoy your world too, Hongo.

--------------------"You've got to get hold of the thread of marching time, pull the fuck thing down, get on the end of it and pang yourself to the infinitude of absolute mind"
Ken Campbell - Furtive Nudist

"The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced" - Aart van der Leeuw

The Tao Te Ching, to me, sums up everything that tripping is about on every single page. I can't wait to read it on my next trip.

--------------------Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

"The tibetan book of the dead" !!! (the original) Its wonderfully tibetan, but also explains lots of things.

To Shnezbit: The books are meant to be readed before your experience, not meanwhile, because if you readed it it?s inside of you, you can then check the readed on the trip, but mentally :-) Thanks for your inputs!

What about "alice in wonderland" ?? My friends and i readed it toghether the night before our experience, but not the whole book, we got to the tea scene, and we didnt read further. On the next day we ate the shrooms on empty somach, and lots of water, we were the whole trip in the tea scene , involved and totally connected between us, in a funny mental way, we were like the characters of the tea scene . It was crazy, and different from tripping of what we are, and what we do, and our soul, etc, it was just fun to trip book scenes toghether!

Then i remember "Sphere", from Michael Crichton , a great book about our minds weaving reality. Dont watch the movie, it?s just hollywood crap, and they cutted the most significant and enlightening parts of the story.

It would be fun, if you guys would write some of your experiences related to the books, and the way you lived it, i would love reading about that :-) See you again, hongo

1. The Teachings of don Juan2. A Separate Reality3. Journey to Ixtlan4. Tales Of Power5. The Second Ring of Power6. The Eagle's Gift7. The Fire From Within8. The Power of Silence9. The Art of Dreaming12. The Active Side of Infinity

Great illustrations and writing as well. Even when I was completely twisted I could still read the writing, it seemed to shine through. I think I had a Tim Leary tape on at the same time too. I ended up writing in the end of the Be Here Now: I taught myself the answer to my own dillema. It seemed to sum it all up!

--------------------No ONE wants to know the ultimate TRUTH, as soon as YOU find IT out, YOU want to forget IT.

"Kunstformen aus dem Meer" from Ernst Haeckel, a german book, the title in english: "Art forms from the ocean", its a graphical book about lifeformations from the ocean, which may enhace every little thought you may have on your trips. Its very joyfull to see your mental images flowing with the ocean lifeforms, because they are so incredible! And this guy Ernst Haeckel drawed every single picture with his own hands, an amazing work to admire, that although the complexity of it all, he didn?t gave it up, and maded wonderfull illustrations of this lifeforms to enjoy. I defineatly recommend this book to any person who ever visited the other planes. Chek it on amazon or so, i found it on a library and took it for some days to see it, now i want to have it!that?s my recomm for today! HongoIf you see it let me know what you think! I loved the Castaneda list from Equilibrium! I?ll read them as i go trough this holo-lifeform!Thank you!
